In any vocation at all, we must distinguish the grace of the call itself from the preliminary image of ourselves which we spontaneously and almost unconsciously assume to represent the truth of our calling. Sooner or later this image must be destroyed and give place to the concrete reality of the vocation as lived in the actual mysterious plan of God, which necessarily contains many elements we could never have forseen.

Hvorfor besøkte Maria sin slektning Elisabet?
De fleste katolikker vil uten å nøle svare at hun dro for å hjelpe sin eldre slektning som var blitt gravid mot alle odds. Og hvorfor ikke?

Prayer, the fundamental cosmic force of creation, is found in its completeness in Christ praying for Unity. In that prayer he expresses before his Father his own desire, since Christian Unity is part of his Father’s divine plan; his prayer is the expression of his will for his baptized. What has once existed in the mind of Christ exists eternally, for through his mind it becomes part of his person, part of the eternal Word. Christ continues to pray for Unity intil the end of time, in the love of the Spirit, the Lamb before the Father’s throne. But he desires us to share this prayer with him, for all Christians share in his life.
(Paul Couturier, One in Christ vol 2, no. 3, s. 240)
